As my coach, Julia supported me in identifying my career aspirations. She guided me to set practical goals by breaking down the process into manageable steps. Our conversations opened new avenues to other opportunities and alternate paths and resulted in a deeper understanding of my current and potential work value. Julia helped me identify parts of my work and life experience that I had not previously connected to my career goals. I found her personal approach and professional support an invaluable combination.

As my coach, Julia has a way of being right there with me and for really hearing me when I want to be heard more than helped. I love to explore new ideas and avenues and she is a great sounding board for allowing those ideas to play out.

She gives you plenty of space to explore and then has impeccable timing for asking the right questions at the right time to keep you focused and on track.

Listening is a leadership responsibility and often doesn’t appear in our job descriptions. As our careers develop, we perfect our craft and ultimately become the experts in our field, having all the answers, and then we migrate to leading teams, managing and directing them. As leaders, we must balance our intensity and desire to perform with compassionate attention to our employees and those we work with. Today’s employees want their voices heard. What they are really saying is, not just hear them, but really listen to them. As employees seek more attention, feedback and support, leaders must be mindful of each employee’s individual needs to inspire their professional development and impact their overall professional performance. Statistics show that leaders who actively listen are able to create trustworthy relationships that are transparent and loyal – leading to a more engaged and motivated workforce.
